shut up halo haters

Geminiwave

shut the hell up. I'm sick and tired of this fanaticism. its like...you HAVE to be an extremist one way or another.

See fanboys...they bother me. all the way around. but at least they're LOVING something. Its bringing them happyness and if they wanna nerd out and worship a game\system\phone\demonic cult, then more power to them.

but really what does it solve vomiting out the same old shit over and over again. "The graphics suck" "its 8 yearold gameplay" "xbox blows!" i mean seriously. first of all, have you PLAYED halo 3? Its not perfect. its not God. It IS a decent game. I enjoy it and I'm happy I bought it. And I'm happy I bought halo 1. Halo 2...not so much...but hey thats fine.

My point is what the hell does it solve by moaning about it. you dont like it, then dont play it. sheesh. Stop trying to make other people NOT enjoy it. All you're doing is actively trying to make people unhappy and its disgusting.

I'm not saying you have to like the game. you can hate the game. GO HATE THE GAME if that is what you so desire...just stop trying to ruin it for other people. And have respect for the blood and sweat that was put into this game by fine (and probably underpaid) programmers.

I wouldn't say Halo 3 sucks its just that its a way overhyped mediocre game. Really it does nothing to innovate FPS, it doesn't deviate from its predecessors one iota. Its gameplay is straight out of the year 2000, the story line sucks, the bad guys look gay as hell, the environments are bland and to top it all off microsoft spends so much money in advertising that the game is shoved down peoples throats. Theres no way in hell it would ever get a fair review from a mainstream site when the site itself is splashed with Halo 3 adverts.

No its not that it sucks it just is nowhere near as good as the hype leads you to believe.

Plus its for faggots so suck my dick fag.

Peace I'm outta here like last year.

Brutality

Says pissed of Sony's fanboi who can't afford x360 to play that godawesome game.

Go blow your brains out!

see and heres the problem with your statement hornet...people LOVE THE GAME! it wasn't over hyped because it made huge profits and is selling like heroine to homeless kids. Your personal feelings on the game are well and fine and you're invited to never come near the game ever. But that doesn't mean its a bad game or that people shouldn't like it. People should like it if they like it. and hate it if they hate it. I'll agree that it isn't the holy grail of gaming but it is a good game. Halo still lives on to this day...so how is "8 yearold gaming" bad?

also by the way...halo rather did revolutionize gaming. and with the new items that halo 3 added in, theres much more strategy to the game. Sure they did play it VERRYYYYY safe and not deviate from the core gameplay...but why should they? Nobody asked them to. The fans...the lifeblood of this game (and also the ones with the cash) said NOT to screw with the game and Bungie\Microsoft listened. The game pretty well delivers EXACTLY what people asked for and delivered it well.

and on the note of 8 yearold gaming...I recall playing shooters well before then. shooters haven't changed. they're all the same. its all about the finesse and gloss put on top. and Halo 3 has lots of finesse.

Erm...its only a game, why cry about it? Get a job, get a car, get a girlfriend and believe me you won't care about games any more.

1 year ago before my job I loved games and I just couldn't see myself saying what I'm saying now.

Geminiwave

yeahhhhhhhhh kinda have all of those things and yet I still enjoy games. sorry bud.

Gemini, Halo 3 is all those bad things the haters say and it's also those good things the fanboys say. If Halo was a normal product the consumer would weight the good opinions against the bad before purchasing. Let's be honest though, gamers aren't regular consumers, if you own a 360 you will buy or rent Halo 3 because the 360 was made for this game.

I think you've taken the side of the fanboy by defending the game's virtues and acting like the negativity will keep kids from buying the game which is ludicrous. Neither MS or Bungie needs you to champion the game for them, they're already breaking sale records and both the haters and fanboys are snapping up the copies as we speak. Let people say whatever they want about the game it's their right as consumers to do so.

Then get a cheap old car like a VW Polo Coupe and learn how to tune it and mod it !

And if that doesn't use up all of your time get another girl so you have 2 ! lol

Geminiwave

the first one is a bigger waste of time\money than video games...

and as far as the second girlfriend goes one woman is enough trouble thanks.

Da_Jewish_Fonzy

yeah if you don't like gaming gtfo

Mousey

So your'e saying unless a game completely changes the concept of a genre it sucks?
Halo isn't supposed to completely change everything about FPSes as we know them, it just fills almost every element that makes a game great.

I'm no fanboy since PC is always gonna be dominant imo, but i do play halo a lot when i go to my mate's house and we always have a laugh, and halo for faggots?
How much pink do you see in the game minus the needler?

so You can suck my dick

Da_Jewish_Fonzy

mousey i have pda's lying around more powerful than your "rig" so stfu about pc gaming you noob.

I never said Halo had to change anything to be good, but a game hyped as much as halo and with reviewers giving it 10's and 9.5's it better bring something new to the table or at least innovate in some small way. Getting a 10 means the game is perfect when it is far from perfect. Its a mediocre console shooter and has nothing on PC FPS's, not that you would know seeing as you can't run anything modern anyway.

BlueMak

Let me guess, your gf doesn't allow you to touch a game?

BlueMak

OK, now, THAT was funny.

Mousey

Since when did my rig come into this?
Where in my post did i mention anything to do with my rig?
I only said PC Ftw because it's always going to be a dominant format.
Leave my rig alone, i don't say your's sucks i'd appreciate it if you didn't say the same for mine.

Reckless187

lol, jewish hornet has a laptop as a substitue for a pda? Fucking nice! Does that fit in your pocket? I know it fits in you A-hole, your mums A-hole & your dad's A-hole. It laso fits in your mums piss flaps & your piss flaps as I have already had a play. Was nice.

Besides the really good story in halo (yes it is short in halo 3 but its still a good story) which almost NO fps has...it also has fantastic multiplayer. it takes all of the good things from other FPS multiplayers and incorporates them into one really awesome one. And honestly I haven't found another game that does the gun\grenade\melee combo as well as the halo series. none. All other games its more clunky and difficult to do. or you have to switch weapons to a melee weapon. and honestly theres nothing quite like pistol whipping someone.

Also now with the various grenades and now the equipment...halo 3 has shaped up to be quite an advanced strategic shooter. Sure you can boil it down to just running around with smgs machine gunning eachother. and there are matches like that. But that is a CHOICE for you and not a shortcoming of the game. simply one option you have.

I see valid points on both sides...

I agree with Da_jizz.... I find most everything marketed is over hyped - the iPhone (anything mac), movies, etc... I guess most of us are just used to it.

But then I also agree with Gemini.... if you dont like the game - theres no need to 'negitively market' it either - just makes you look like a competitors fanboi....

But I also think its kinda dumb arguing over subjective ideas - like if a game is 'as good as the hype or not'.... or if even like it or not ( I find the 'why' most informative btw - and would give that more consideration than a simple 'it sucks ass' - which I usually just ignore)

ViRuS2k

the game isnt great, its shite, i dont have anything good enough to comment about it other than the enormous HYPE MS shoved down our throats.

the only thing that keeps me playing it is its multiplayer, and even that is shit, i mean come the hell on, its for kids, it even has auto aiming implamented LOL WTF is with that lol, dont the makers know people can shoot straight heh

peice.

Spitting out opinions is all fine.... some points are raised that others may have not thought about... course we'll always run into either ourselves or others that get stuck in a stuborn rut and refuse to weigh all the evidence either way..... or do.. but ignore it or do it poorly just for thier own sake...

FACT:

The game is admittedly MUCH to short.... quite a number of people that play it SAY this is one of the most prominent... WAY WAY to short.....

FACT:

Some people consider the storyline...... well.... rather either incomplete, or fairly spotty....

FACT:

The game appears to be more indepth with multiplayer... and some have considered the single player or coop portion of the game as a "tagged on" mode.....

FACT?:

Majority of people that don't have a internet connection are going to be fairly upset as it's simply a multiplayer game more then it is single player...

FACT: Quite a number of people have noticed, and some are quite upset that this game is NOT a High Definition GAME.... it falls under the required 720p specs.... even if it's by a little. While some official sources have stated that it was for a realism and graphic reason, other that are familare with how things work state that it's rather a technical excuse then it is a reason....

FACT: Microsoft has a disposable amount of Money, and no doubt, even i've seen more Halo ads on tv (and i don't watch tv that often) probably in MINUTES, then i've actually watched for shows..... (some channels theres a Halo ad EVERY single commercial, and in some cases, it's the first commercial and also the last before the start of the show again (that's 2 exactly the same comercial right after each other sometimes)

debate

Maddogg6

ok.... to say 'FACT' and explain it is *others* opinions - while maybe a 'fact' (that its *is* their opinion) - is not really 'facts' imo.

For instance - how long should a game be... a game that can be finished in a matter of hours by one person - may take another a month (me for instance).
